Biking in Massachusetts

Hop on a bicycle and you'll be amazed how much you'll see and hear. A narrow lane that beckons, a hidden harbor, a flower-filled meadow? Just stop on a dime and explore. In addition to taking you through some spectacular scenery, these trails, converted from disused railroad lines, have one great virtue: no hills.

Fishing in Massachusetts

Freshwater fishing venues range from the ice-cold streams of the Berkshire Hills to the mighty Connecticut and Merrimack rivers. More than 500 lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams are stocked with 700,000 trout annually. For saltwater fisherman, party and charter boats leave from 27 Massachusetts ports.

Water Sports in Massachusetts

Take your choice: paddle languidly down a gentle river looking for the perfect picnic spot; explore coastal inlets accessible only by water; or rocket down a rushing river on raft, paddling with all your might.

Whale Watching in Massachusetts

Head out on to the ocean blue and you'll be treated to the awe-inspiring sight of 50-foot, 40-ton whales breaching and spouting just 25 miles off the Massachusetts coast. But don't take our word for it: the World Wildlife Fund named Massachusetts as one of the world's top ten whale watching spots. Whale watch cruises operate April to October.
